Result! Glad it worked out for you and your group.

I work best with a mix of theory and practical. If I can grok the reasons behind why something works, them I will remember how to do it better. I also find that practical examples help me learn better, too - especially at work. If the lecturer on a training course can give real-world examples...

"OK guys, this week we're playing GURPS." or "Ooh, this is an important roll, can I borrow your loaded dice please, Jim?"

I just ordered an A-Wing and TIE Interceptor on Amazon, and got them when they came back in stock. I'm loving the game, too. Played on Monday night - the shuttle convoy mission, followed by stock Falcon + Luke vs TIE Inteceptor + 2 TIE fighters. First time playing with the bigger ship, and it...

As you know, I'm a keen photographer. I bought an SLR in 2005, and decided to replace it last year. I was originally thinking of upgrading and getting a more expensive, larger and heavier camera, but after some careful thought about my experience of carrying a camera around I decided to buy a...

I played it at Gencon 2012 for the first time. I loved it so much, that I managed to get in another couple of games (including the usual "Hey, it's late on Sunday night - I can sleep on the plane home") :)

I've never played it. The one time I played a Dr Who game in the 80's, we used the Call of Cthulhu rules - and in fact were told that it was a game of Call of Cthulhu. My character wrecked his Bentley trying to smash open the door of the mysterious garden shed...

Mongoose and ADB have subsequently released updated models, so they should be easy to find in shops - plus you often find people selling them 2nd hand on Mongoose forums.

I enjoyed this series more than the last several. Not sure why. Maybe they managed to get the mix of hyper/supercars, affordable cars, guests, race, travel and cocking about right for my tastes. Ripper Street was good. I liked the character interactions and relationships.

To catalogue, organise and publish (to flickr and facebook) my photos I use Adobe Lightroom. It's also good for 95% of the processing you want to do on photos (e.g. cropping, exposure adjustment, sharpening, noise reduction, minor corrections). It costs £90 here, so I guess $120, which might...

I was dubious about it - England isn't known for its fantastic sunny weather! But, I'd never owned one before, and it has worked out well. It's quick to get the hood up and down (even up to 30mph - handy when caught in a shower), and well insulated. Cool story! I always loved the idea of a...

Still no fun driving on the snow with wide, low-profile tyres - especially when they are at the legal limit. New ones being fitted Saturday.

Just a little gentle joshing :)

Ah, looks like you have a visitor for your game in Southampton, Russ.

I think he wants to know if you're a Basque separatist.

My bank has an application that categorises transactions pretty well, but transactions on the credit card are a black hole right now. I need to go through a similar exercise with the last 12 months cc statements and see where that money is going. Thanks for reminding me :)

Budgets are probably one of my strong points - I'd rather spend half an hour with my spreadsheets than sweeping the floors, for example. I've found it very useful to have a "house" account that only pays out household or other joint bills (most by Direct Debit). My partner and I pay a set...
